My personal message:

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Anybody that's seen me plunge headfirst into a streetlight/wall/coffee table etc will be aware of RP and the various ways it can produce all variety of interesting cuts & bruises. As some of you may be aware from recent media coverage, research into treatment for RP is starting to take off with some promising results.

That's why I've decided to join this trek - research & clinical trials are incredibly expensive. The quicker they get funds in, the more chance there is of finding ways to beat RP.

The challenge is a week-long trek through the Sahara, in rather hot conditions over approx 95km distance, some at very high altitudes, so it will be an effort, but I hope you'll agree well worth it.

Obviously I'll be taking lots of pics to prove I went :0)

NB trip is funded from donations, but I will be sposoring myself quite a bit so it's not a free holiday.
